However, if you have a 455 e-series Rancher that has regular bar nuts, that just means it was produced once this designation stopped meaning anything (my Husky 450 e-series is an example of this). 455R Specs And Features Engine After running a 550xp, 562xp, or higher, you will never touch a homeowner saw again. Power-to-weight ratio, and mostly, hand vibrations are the major factor for me. It provides a comfortable grip on your hand with a 7-degree offset handle. Along with that, it reduces fatigue while the saw is on run. Easy to Start
